Abstract:
This work reports a PdS-modified ZnCdS (PdS/ZCS) composite for the anaerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-diformylfuran along with hydrogen evolution. Compared to pristine ZCS, PdS/ZCS exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity, attributed to PdS as an oxidation co-catalyst, which facilitates the charge carrier separation and enables more efficient generation of ˙CH(OH)C5H3O2 radical intermediates.
